Worth Watching

“Policeman” by Paul Harvey done in the style of that wonderful SUPER BOWL commercial “God Made A Farmer” narrated by Paul Harvey. This is a tribute to the many police officers who risk their
lives daily. We should never forget who are the first ones we call, when we are in danger.

Inspired by an open letter to our LEO Community that was written by Elizabeth Shiftwell. Please take a minute to watch, hear our support, and know that you are loved.
